Robotis Bioloid
Humanoid robot constructed using the Bioloid kit
The ROBOTIS BIOLOID is a hobbyist and educational robot kit produced by the Korean robot manufacturer ROBOTIS. The BIOLOID platform consists of components and small, modular servomechanisms called the AX-12A Dynamixels, which can be used in a daisy-chained fashion to construct robots of various configurations, such as wheeled, legged, or humanoid robots. The Robot is programmed with RoboPlus - C language based software solution.[1] The Bioloid system is thus comparable to the LEGO Mindstorms and VEXplorer kits.
